HE foregoing are the pedigrees of those of the Irish Gaels, or Milesian
ish families, which, as yet, we have been able to collect ; and we need
)t say the collection and compilation of those genealogies were to us a
labour of love." In respect to any inaccuracies or blemishes which
ay still be found in the Work, we trust that the magnitude of our
bour will plead our excuse. Any inaccuracies, however, which shall

pointed out to us, shall be corrected in future editions ; and the
emishes, if any, expunged.

It will be observed that some of the genealogies are traced down to
e time of the English invasion of Ireland ; some, to the reign of Queen
izabeth ; some, to the Plantation of Ulster ; some, to the Cromwellian,
:d others to the Williamite, confiscations ; and some down to this year

our Lord, 1887. But we are satisfied that, so far as our sources of
formation enabled us to do so, each generation of each pedigree is herein

It will be also seen that, of those families whose pedigrees are continued
wn to 1887, some contain more generations than others; but this is
sily accounted for by the fact, that many families were more long-lived
an others ; that many of the names recorded in the Irish Genealogies
jre Chiefs of Clans, and that the Chiefs of dominant Irish families in
8 past were often slain in early manhood : because, in war, the Chief
aded his Clan, and, thus in front of the battle, was always exposed to
} onslaught of his foe. Hence the average age of the generations
low in the Pedigrees of those families which longest continued to be
ninant ; thus accounting for the greater number of generations.

To render Irish Pedigrees as interesting as possible to future genera-
ns of those Irish, Irish-American, Norman-Irish, Anglo-Irish, Danish,
ottish, Welsh, Huguenot, and Palatine families, whose genealogies are
orded in the Work, we would receive reliable information from the
)resentatives of those families, at home, or abroad, who can, from where

leave off in any genealogy, continue their pedigrees down to themsleves ;
bh the view of having such information when verified, inserted in future
itions of this Work. And, as the Work caters to the prejudices of no
t or party, there is no valid reason for withholding such information ;

the contrary, the man who can assist in rescuing his family genealogy
m oblivion, and will not do so, incurs, in our opinion, the reproach so
itly applied by Sir Walter Scott, in the following lines, to him, if such
jre be, whose soul is dead to " Love of Country :"

High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim ;
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown.
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from which he sprung
Unwept, unhonoured, and unsuag.

COLLINS.

183, ante^ commencing witl

Instead of the third paragraph in p.
" William Collins," read :

William Collins, " the finest English poet which England has pro
duced," was, though a native of England, of Irish extraction ; he was th(
son of a hatter in Chichester, being born there on the 25th December
1720 ; his uncle was a Colonel in a Foot regiment; he died a lunatic ii
his sister's house, in Chichester, in 1756.

For the fourth paragraph in same page, read :

'* Of the Cork family was the late Stephen Collins, Esq., Q.C., who»
son, John T. Collins, Esq., Barrister-at-law, is (in 1887) the chief repre
Tentative."

And at the end of the '^O'Collins" paper, same page, we should hav«
added the following :

There are a few families of the name of Collins, settled in Ireland
which are considered of English extraction. About 1651, a Cadet of j
Cornish " Collins" family (which was probably founded there by an ofl
shoot of the family of the Lords of Lower Connello, who migrated fron
Ireland in the 13th or 14th century), acquired property and settled in th
county Galway. His descendants intermarried from time to time wit)
members of the Blake, French, Daly, and Kelly families ; and his reprc
sentative at the beginning of this century was John Collins, Esq. (bon
1775, died 1826), who married Ellen, daughter of Rev. Joseph Tenison,
Rector of Wicklow, and left issue :

author of History ^ Law^ and
Practice of Banking ^ and other
works; m. in 1879 Elizabeth-

The McGoverns or McGowrans, etc., are of the Hy-Briuin race, and
are descended from Brian, the first King of Conn aught of the Hy-Xiall
Sept, and the eldest brother of the Monarch Niall of the Nine Hostages,
who is No. 87 on the " O'Neill" (No. 1), of Tyrone, pedigree. They were
the Lords and Chieftains of the ancient barony of Tidlaghaw, co. Cavan,
generally known (see the " Dolan" pedigree, a7ite,) as the Kingdom of
Glan or Glangavlin or the Country of the ]\IacGaurans. (See Lewis's
Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, 1837.) "MacGauran's Country" is
about sixteen miles in length by seven in breadth. In Queen Elizabeth's
reign Commissioners were in 1584 sent there, and by them the whole
territory of the County Cavan was partitioned into seven baronies, one of
those baronies (Tullaghaw) being assigned to the Sept MacGauran. On.
the confiscation of six counties in Ulster, during the Ulster Plantation, in
the reign of James I., the County Cavan was planted with British colonies,,
and, according to Connellan, the MacGaurans received 1,000 acres.

A complete list of the chiefs, from A.D. 1220 to 1532, is given in
O'Donovan's translation of the "Four Masters." The Sept prides itself
on having had a Catholic Archbishop, viz., Edmond MacGauran, Primate
of Armagh; and two bishops.

A Mr. Bartholomew Joseph McGovern went to Liverpool about the
year 1846, and there attained a high social position. E.I.P. He left
two sons, viz., the Eev. John Bernard McGovern, and Mr. Joseph Henry
McGovern, architect, who are the authors of a History of the Clan,
together with a number of other works. Both living in 1887.

792 IRISH PEDIGREES. [PAET \

I.— ENGLISH INVASION OF IRELAND.

In the middle ages the Popes claimed and exercised great temporal power
which, in the main, they exercised for the general good. The Merovingiai
dynasty was changed on the decision of Pope Zachary. If Frederick th<
First did not renounce all pretensions to ecclesiastical property
Lombardy, he was threatened by Pope Adrian with the forfeiture of thi
Crown received from him and through his Unction.

In 1211, Pope Innocent the Third pronounced sentence of Depositioi
against King John of England, and conferred that kingdom on Philij
Augustus, who instantly prepared to assert his claim ; although he had m
manner of title, except the Papal Grant. And, in 1493, Pope Alexande:
the Sixth gave the whole continent of America to Ferdinand and Isabellj
of Spain ; ostensibly because the nations which then inhabited that coi
tinent were infidels.

King Henry II., of England, ascended the throne, A.D. 1154, and wa.
contemporary with Pope Adrian the Fourth, who w^as, himself, an English
man, and whose name originally was Nicholas Brakespeare ; to whon
Henry sent John of Salisbury, the Secretary of Thomas-a-Becket, arch
bishop of Canterbury, to make certain representations and stipulation
respecting the Kingdom of Ireland, which Henry had lonsj coveted.

In the exercise of his temporal power, Pope Adrian IV. did, regardles:
of every right, transfer the sovereignty of Ireland to the Crown of England
not because the Irish people of that period were " infidels"* (which thej
certainly were not), but because Adrian IV., in his love of country
naturally wished to aggrandize England !

Among the volumes in the MS. Library of Trinity College, Dublin, ii
the Collectanea Eibernia?, marked E. 3. 10, which includes the " Invasioi
and first Invaders of Ireland under Henry II. ;" together with some
interesting Annals relating to Ireland, commencing with A.D. 322, anc
ending a.d. 1590. Of those Annals the first is a strange one; for,
asserts that for thirteen years — namely, from 322 to 335, a certain Lad]
of the Pictish race had been engaged in the conversion of the Irish people
to Christianity :

* InHdels : To the great piety and zeal of the Irish people for the glory of Grod|
not only at the time of the Euglish invasion, but since Christianity was first intro-
duced into Ireland, the many remains of Abbeys, Churches and other Christian Monu-
ments throughout the land even at the present day, bear ample testimony :
" Who sees these ruins, but will demand
What barbarous invader sacked the land :
And when he hears no Goth nor Turk did bring
